The first session of the newly-elected Armenian National Assembly will be held on January 7, Civil Contract Party member Vahagn Hovakimyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to him, the CEC will summarize the results of the National Assembly elections on December 16.

"The results of the parliamentary elections may be appealed on the fifth day after the CEC decision, on December 21. That is, after December 18, at 18:00 it will be clear whether the NA elections be appealed to the Constitutional Court or not,” he said adding that if the results of the elections are not appealed to the Constitutional Court, the MPs are given mandates by the compiled CEC protocol.

He recalled that December 22 and 23 are non-working days, thus the CEC may convene a working session on December 24, in order to compile a protocol.

Along with giving the mandates, CEC should also approve the day of the first sitting of the National Assembly.

If the results of the elections are appealed in the Constitutional Court, in this case, the decision should be made within 15 days from December 22 to January 5.

"Accordingly, the first session of the newly elected National Assembly may take place on January 14 or 21,” he added.
